Keeping your car running smoothly doesn’t have to be a hassle. At Elden’s Autobahn (EA) Performance, we know that regular maintenance and a few simple habits can save you time, money, and stress. Whether it’s keeping up with logbook servicing or paying attention to small warning signs, here’s how you can ensure your car stays in top shape.
Stay Ahead with Regular Servicing
Why Regular Servicing Matters
Skipping servicing may seem harmless, but it can lead to costly repairs and poor performance. Regular services help catch issues early and keep your car operating efficiently.
Tip: Schedule a service every six months or 10,000 km to prevent wear and tear from escalating. Visit EA Performance for professional, hassle-free car care.
Logbook Servicing for Warranty Protection
Logbook servicing isn’t just for new cars—it’s essential for maintaining your warranty. We follow manufacturer guidelines to keep your car performing at its best while protecting your investment.
Keep an Eye on Tyres
Check Tyre Pressure Regularly
Underinflated tyres reduce fuel efficiency and wear unevenly, while overinflated ones compromise grip. Tyres should be checked monthly for optimal performance and safety.
Tip: Stop by EA Performance for a quick tyre check if you’re unsure.
Rotate and Balance Tyres
Rotating tyres every 10,000 km ensures even wear and extends their lifespan. Proper balancing reduces vibration and improves handling.
Listen to Your Car
Don’t Ignore Warning Lights
Dashboard warning lights aren’t just decorative—they indicate potential problems. Whether it’s the check engine light or tyre pressure monitor, prompt attention can prevent major issues.
Tip: Bring your car to EA Performance if a warning light appears.
Pay Attention to Strange Noises
Unusual sounds like squealing brakes or knocking under the hood often signal trouble. Address these issues early to avoid costly repairs.
Maintain Fluids and Filters
Check Oil Levels
Oil is your car’s lifeblood. Regularly check levels and top up when needed to prevent engine damage.
Replace Air Filters
Clogged air filters reduce fuel efficiency and performance. They should be checked and replaced during servicing.
Drive Smart
Avoid Harsh Braking and Acceleration
Smooth driving reduces wear on brakes and tyres. Gradual acceleration and deceleration improve fuel efficiency and overall longevity.
Lighten the Load
Carrying excess weight increases strain on your engine and suspension. Remove unnecessary items from your boot to improve performance.
